First you must go back to simple chemistry.
What is a fire? It is the combustion of carbon.
Carbon is being oxidised to form carbon dioxide.
This is exothermic, meaning what? It gives off ENERGY.
With A level Physics you learn that an atom with electrons
which has been excited will emit light photons, this is the
visable fire.
The rest of the energy is lost as heat, which will make the
carbon dioxide less dense as anything heated expands and
has a lower density. This lower density causes it to rise.
This is the ONLY reason a fire rises upwards. Ignore the
rubbish above, it isn't correct in the chemical or physical
processes.

I just want to convert the voltage into current i.e. suppose I have 750V & 1A AC power then I want to convert it into 12V & 62A DC power only difficulty is that I don't want to use the tranceformer. Simply to say, I want to make the step-down without using tranceformer. Please, give me some ideas. And also I want the relation between Magnetic Induction & Weight of the body can be levitated. Or I can say, how much of magnetic induction requires to lift 500gms weight? I am heartily thankful to you.
